Buffalo Bill anu Albert Edward.

Colonel Cody, otherwise Buffalo Bill,
owns to be worth $500, 900, and he
says that his partner, Salisbury, is
worth half million. Regarding the
Prince of Wales, Colonel Cody said
The Prince has been very kind to me.
He is good man. He is kind, thought
full and a good friend. If he likes a
man he sticks to him. He is man of
whom you can ask a favor. | sent
word to him the other day of my plans
of going to Manchester, and ne wrote
letter to one of the most important
men there indorsing me and my enter

He gave me, last summer, a very

How the Chinese Speak Of the Dead.

A Chinaman would never say his
friend was dead. His name has been
added to the muster roll of ghosts"
would be the languag e used to inform
us of his death. "He has become a
spirit" is a metaphor equally impress
sive. "He has become one of the
ancients," is speech strikingly
POLITICALLY and significant, remember
ing the ancestral form of worship of
the Chinese. HE has returned to
the shades" HE has taken fare
we'll of the world" "He has gone
a long Journey" are expressions all
very frequently used when speaking of
the dead. But the Chinese are not
without unfeeling phrases on the same
subject. Still, it is not customary for
them to make use of such expressions
when mentioning deceased friends.
"He has swallowed his BREATH" is a
quaint periphrase;" but to "Slip his
skin" or Stretch his legs" are objec-
tionable and vulgar speeches. HE
has mounted upon the dragons back
to be a ghost on high" is the apotheosis
of an emperor. ''The mountain has
collapsed" refers to a dead Emperor,

and truthful reference to the dead of a

Seward Mitchell, of Palmyra, Me- :,
is too good to live in that sharp
Yankee state. He had good farm,
which he sold to neighbor, who
made small cash payment. Mitchell
took the mans word for the balance
of the payment, thinking that it was
wrong to take a note or security from
a neighbor. The neighbor has never
paid up. Mitchell, who of course is
getting poor, though once well off,
now has scheme for keeping store
which shall be left open to all, SO that
any one can take what he wants and
leave in exchange anything be thinks

Orders of ChivaIry.

There are about one hundred and
fifty orders of chivalry in Europe, and
most of them are on the market in
Paris. They vary in price from 5000
to $1,000. The existence of these
agencies shows that it is possible to
obtain decoration without having any
title to it other than a purchase BILE
one. As far back as the reign OF
Henry ~. honorary distinctions Were
sometimes conveyed by favor, and not
for merit. When that monarch re-
mitted the collar of the order of the
Holy Spirit to M. de LaVieuville the
recipient modestly replied: "Sire, ]
am not worthy of the honor" 81
know it, replied the King, smilingly,
"but my nephew begged me to invest
you with it." History does not say
whether the nephew received a COM
mission for his influence. NJ. de La
Vieuville's remark recalls an anecdote
about Spontini. The celebrated Italian
composer was very vain and never lost
an opportunity to bedeck himself with
all the orders he had received At an
evening party he heard some one be-
hind him say: "Spontini is covered
with crosses and Mozart never had
any" The Italian turned suddenly
about and replied: MY dear sir, Mo-
Fart had genius enough to get along

is at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

constitutional disease requires constitu-

of the disease and giving the patient
